The mission of Educational Foundation for Independence (EFFI) is to provide scholarships in the form of tuition assistance for students to attend K-12 private schools and college support programs for alternative learners. Our scholarship philosophy is to strengthen and sustain individuals within unique educational environments in order to expand upon their core abilities and to assist them in reaching their fullest potential. As such, we develop thoughtful, long-term collaborations with individuals and educational institutions, and invest sufficient funds to accomplish the purpose at hand and achieve meaningful and lasting results.
